Master of Science [M.S] [Operations Research] From University of North Carolina

The spectrum of related activities includes basic research in optimization theory, development of deterministic and stochastic mathematical models as aids for decision making, and application of these models to real-world problems. The principal steps in modeling consist of analyzing relationships that determine the probable future consequences of decision choices and then devising appropriate measures of effectiveness in order to evaluate the relative merits of alternative actions. During the past 50 years, operations research has developed as a mathematical science whose methods of analysis are regularly employed in many diverse industries and governmental agencies.
